The Daily Mail reports that Americans from coast to coast lined up in large numbers for free goods from food banks, as unemployment caused by the pandemic leads many to seek Thanksgiving assistance they never dreamed they would need.
With the unemployment rate having doubled since before the pandemic, Thanksgiving is proving a stressful time for many families.
From New York to California, Texas, Michigan and Pennsylvania people waited patiently for hours on end to claim their parcels – with some famous faces helping out.
It says for the seventh year running, Snoop Dogg handed out Thanksgiving turkeys in California, 1,400 cars lined up in Austin for grocery parcels, and people waited 16 hours for Tyler Perry’s giveaway in Atlanta, as demand for food banks soars during coronavirus.
